Solution

The correct options are
A
Coal

C
Petroleum

D
Natural gas

Fossil fuels are formed from the fossils of dead animals and plants that were buried under dirt and rock over millions of years. The high temperature and pressure inside the earth transforms these fossils into petroleum, natural gas and coal. Wood can be directly acquired from trees and hence is not considered as a fossil fuel.
